Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 5,317,015, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 5,317,015 | |
| -1 | -5,317,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,317,015.
Example:
1 x 5,317,015 = 5,317,015
and
-1 x -5,317,015 = 5,317,015
Notice both answers equal 5,317,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,317,015 and divide it by 2:
5,317,015 ÷ 2 = 2,658,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,658,507.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,317,015 | |
| -1 | -5,317,015 |
Now, we try dividing 5,317,015 by 3:
5,317,015 ÷ 3 = 1,772,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,772,338.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,317,015 | |
| -1 | -5,317,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,317,015 ÷ 4 = 1,329,253.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,329,253.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,317,015 | |
| -1 | 5,317,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 277 | 349 | 1,385 | 1,745 | 3,047 | 3,839 | 15,235 | 19,195 | 96,673 | 483,365 | 1,063,403 | 5,317,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -277 | -349 | -1,385 | -1,745 | -3,047 | -3,839 | -15,235 | -19,195 | -96,673 | -483,365 | -1,063,403 | -5,317,015 |
